Pillow Re-do

My husband and I are re-doing our bedroom! When we were registering for gifts, we registered for a really nice bed set that my mom got for us. While I still think it is beautiful, I now think it's a little girly. It doesn't have the warm feel that we want for our bedroom. The pillows that we got with it are very high quality (and they cost a pretty penny, too), so I was really anxious about not being able to use them anymore. My mother-in-law, who used to work in a fabric store making drapes, let me raid her scrap supply, and I found this gorgeous patterned fabric. It even feels like the fabric on the original pillow!

After I measured out how much fabric I was going to need and cut out the rectangle, I turned the fabric inside out and sewed up two sides.

To sew the corner, rather than take the fabric out and cut the string, I simply raised the needle without detatching the fabric from the stitch, turned the fabric 90 degrees, and kept on going.

Now, I had an inside-out pillow case. I flipped the fabric back the right way and stuffed the pillow inside. Close up the remaining open side, and you have a beautiful, new pillow.

Since I already had the pillow and the fabric, this project didn't cost me anything! Something my husband and I both love!

This is another pillow made the same way. I am so excited about the new colors! And after I get the quilt, everything will really start to come together!
